[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know MCPS was working on a solution.  This looks really positive for families who were previously enrolled in MVA and cannot attend school due to medical needs.  I especially like that parent supervision is required for children under 12 and recommended for over 12.[/quote]

Most MVA kids didn't have medical needs. That's why the MVAers don't like the plan.[/quote]

Correct. Most MVA families wanted the option preserved for their choice or to continue to enable their children’s anxiety disorders.[/quote]

Anxiety is an illness.  If you can’t go do school in person due to your anxiety, this is a great option.[/quote]

It’s an illness with many treatments options. Many kids who have anxiety successfully attend in-person and have been doing so for years.[/quote]

Right, and many also got better treatment as they were in virtual, could get rid of the triggers and focus on their mental health.  Many kids have NOT been successful in person.  That is why they have so many meaningless mental health trainings for the kids and have social workers, counselors and therapists in the schools as parents no longer parent and expect the schools to do everything.  If kids were managing so great, why is in person such a hot mess.

So, you think the kid that need an organ transplant would be better off in person?  Kids with medical issues?  Kids with mental health issues that struggled in person?  Kids whose learning style works best with virtual and/or kids who need more support who aren't getting it in person where they can at home?  How about kids with severe medical and other issues?  Wheelchair-bound in a school without good access?  Kids who rely on adults for their daily care, bathroom, etc?    How about the kids who were forced back in person and don't have para's as promised?[/quote]
